Ghana is Eyeing a Bold Energy Future — and It's Floating!
Ghana is Eyeing a Bold Energy Future — and It's Floating!
During a visit to Russia, a top Ghanaian lawmaker revealed interest in building a floating nuclear power plant with Rosatom.
Here's what that means:
Emmanuel Bedzrah, chair of Ghana’s parliamentary Energy Committee, said the goal is to explore nuclear options to meet Africa’s growing energy needs.
“That’s why we’re here,” he told Sputnik.
A floating NPP is a mobile nuclear facility on a ship or platform, generating power for hard-to-reach or infrastructure-poor regions.
Russia is leading the way with the Akademik Lomonosov, the world’s only operational floating nuclear plant.
It delivers 70 MW of electricity and heat to the remote Arctic town of Pevek.
For Ghana, this could be a game-changer — bringing reliable energy to regions with limited infrastructure, boosting industrial growth, and supporting sustainable development.
